Global Warming my arse.

I live in Wales, it rains here 365 days a year.

Paul Flynn MP.

My local MP the Rt Hon. Paul Flynn MP, is an expenses fiddler who claimed £10,000 pounds in legal defence costs off the taxpayer for a libel case he lost, a libel case he could have avoided in the first place.

He has stolen on expenses a cool £7,052 for new kitchen, as well as work back in 2006 on his kitchen coming to £1580. He has also stolen from the taxpayers £1,153 on carpets and £1,200 decoration for his London property in 2005.

He also claimed £9,629 in stamp duty and fees, yet more money off of you and me.

Then we have £1000 deposit on kitchen equipment, and back in 2006 he charged the taxpayers £1201.90 on decorating his humble abode.

Plus he has claimed back mortgage interest as well, nice work if you can get it.

He also doesn't like paying his bills, he gets you to pay them instead: water, electricity, council Tax and even his television license all paid for by you.

Other perks include: £1745 on a sofa and a chair. £189 on a bathroom cabinet.

Gordon the man who had the plan of clearing the UK's overdraft by sticking all on the nations credit card, an any day now the shaven headed bailiffs will knocking on the nations door; all thanks to this window licking hoon.

Even the head of the US Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke said that the UK was ill-prepared to deal with the crisis in the wake of decisions made by Mr Brown when he was chancellor.

The National Debt Clock.

I warned on this site some months ago that interest rates were likely to go up. I said I did not think people and institutions would go on lending to the government at 2-3%.

They won’t.

At yesterday’s prices the government has to pay 4% to borrow money for 10 years, and 4.5% to borrow money for 20 years. The old bonds issued that have no repayment date now offer more than 5%. That’s big moves – large falls in government bond prices, big increases in the interest rates.

Why does this matter?

It matters because it means we taxpayers will now have to pay a lot more interest.

We will pay more interest on the near £200 billion of new borrowing this government is doing each year. We will pay more interest on the old borrowing that falls for renewal. Each 1% increase in interest rates costs us an extra £2 billion a year interest, a sum which escalates as more borrowing falls due for renewal and as more borrowing is taken out.

Borrowing is fast heading to over £1 Trillion, as I have been blogging recently. If we have to pay 4.5%, that will cost £45 billion a year in interest payments, or more depending on when spending is finally brought down. This comes up from £10 billion, which interest payments were costing until fairly recently.

This is distressing news. Britain is being driven by Gordon Brown's long insanity to a point where we are seen as one of the world's basket cases, not creditworthy and not to be trusted. The cuts that are inevitable will have to pay higher interest before they even reduce the borrowing gap between spending and revenues. This is what debt does, pushing the good times further and further into the future.

To my mind it's incredible that the bankers have taken so long. At last the world is starting to see Gordon Brown and his trillion Pound debt for what it is - a total loss of control by a political gambler, who's gambled to save his political skin with our future health and prosperity, and lost.

He's now locked in his bunker with his own people starting to ignore him and talk of his end everywhere. His opponents cannot rest and must keep on wearing him down until he finally cracks. But amazingly the BBC and the media still carry on as if all is perfectly normal. As in Nazi Germany the Propaganda Ministry is staying loyal right to the very end.

It might be comical to see them struggling in the face of impossible odds to save Gordon Brown, even now, as the City crumbles around him, but make no mistake, these BBC goons like Nick Robinson would rather die with Brown than have to witness a Conservative government taking over in Downing Street.
